About: I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, and livestock—was part of everyday life. I have 5+ years of experience raising dogs and 3 years working in a dog boarding facility, caring for multiple dogs with different needs, routines, and temperaments. I also worked for a veterinarian, gaining experience with safe handling, health awareness, and attentive care. In addition, I have 3 years of experience training puppies starting as young as 3 days old, focusing on early socialization, routine building, and positive reinforcement. Whether I’m caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, cats, or farm animals, I provide dependable, loving, and detail-oriented care. I treat every animal like family and prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I am a full time chiropractic student, so I will have time in the early morning and late evening on weekdays. I will also be available all day during the weekends! I care for pets by following their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, medications, and preferences. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. Safety and comfort are always my priorities, and I closely monitor behavior and health. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, cats, and farm animals, and I adjust my care to fit each pet. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while away.

About: I am a dog mom of two! They are my world, but I have never met an animal I didn’t like!! Small or big they are all special and need love!! I work as a caregiver in the evenings Monday through Thursday 3:30-10 and Friday 3:30-8. So I am available all other hours of the day. I also have the flexibility if I must to make a quick stop by during working hours if I need. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs who love making new friends and having play dates! I believe that the house is there home and they are welcome to sleep and lay on the couches and beds!!

About: Observing and addressing subtle changes in a dog's behavior. Providing mentally stimulating activities like playtime, puzzle feeders, and appropriate socialization opportunities. Being flexible with scheduling and accommodating special requests. Promptly responding to inquiries, addressing concerns, and building a positive relationship with clients. Creating individual routines for each dog based on their dietary needs, exercise requirements. Regularly sending updates, photos, and videos to owners to keep them informed about their dog's well-being. I've done it all! Animals are a passion of mine! I'm a mama to 2 dogs and 1 cat! Their spoiled at their core! Let me spoil your pet too! Tuesdays are my only day of the week im not available. The rest of the week is open to work around my routine. Thank you I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play and run. I have two pups to keep your pup company. I have a safety fence in my house as well if your needing your pet separated from mine. Your pets safety is my upmost concern! I will keep your pet active by playing outside with them.

About: I've always had cats and dogs. I can't imagine a life without them! Currently, I have two dogs and two cats, from 5 years old to 13. They are all my babies. I've volunteered at several rescues over the years, both dogs and cats of all ages. I am not working a full-time job at this time, so I have lots of time for your kids. Whether they require play, or cuddles, or just need basic attention, they'll get whatever makes them happy I keep my kids in a routine so as not to cause them any stress. This would carry over to the client's home as well.

About: I have eight years of pet care experience ranging from dogs and cats to small rodents and reptiles. Not only have I been pet sitting since 2018, I’ve also been a frequent volunteer at my local animal shelter. I am the perfect sitter for your furry friend because I balance respect for a safety and appropriate guidance with a big heart and passion to make pets happy. I am familiar and comfortable with cleaning, vet visits, walking and providing medication as necessary. Additionally, I love to play, cuddle, and tend to the curiosity of my dogs, and I intend to do all the same for yours! My schedule is open during both weekdays and weekends, so I am both able to watch your pets when it’s convenient to you, and able to receive bookings and cancellations same-day. I have two big pups of my own at home, but as I live at home with my family, they will not need to travel with me to other places to care for your pets. That’s being said, I take great care of my dogs!

About: I have taken care of pets for 10+ years and I absolutely love it. I am the go to person with my friends whenever they go out of town. I can’t wait to care for your pet as if they were my own! I am currently working a part time job so i am very flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet! Let me know with any questions you may have. I always make sure i ease into the animals space so that they are comfortable and geeked cared for. I am always cautious of other animals if we are on walks to protect the safety of your pet.

“This was my first time using Rover and Allie went above and beyond all expectations. She tended to my boy's potty/food/water needs and showered him with tons of love. If you need a sitter that will love and take care of your babies, Allie is the one! I will 100% be utilizing her services again, should I need a sitter.”

“Sloane did a great job with a last minute drop in for us. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: So I have been taking care of animals for most of my life, but I have been doing it seriously for the past 6 years. I own a horse and a dog of my own, plus reptiles! So I have a well-rounded amount of knowledge! I'm extremely willing to work with the animals that may need more love and attention as well 💙 I currently work part-time as a repair technician for Apple, so this would be another side job for me! I would do any of the walking/house sitting after my job and taking care of my own animals! So I would be taking advantage of any amenities you have for you animal at your home! Taking them on walks, helping with a special diet, or even spending that extra time with them at the end of the day. I can also provide daily updates and even pictures of your beloved pet!

“Katie was great with both pups! We were out it of town for a couple days and she was able to make multiple drop in visits to make sure the doggies were fed, watered, and had play time. She was easy to communicate with and very friendly. We would definitely recommend Katie and will be glad to have her help us again!”

Courtney M.

“Charlotte was such a blessing while we were away. She was attentive, responsible and dependable . I would highly recommend her!”

Lori B.

“Tayler was incredible! She was so sweet and very caring to my two dogs and one cat. She was prompt and followed all the care instructions very well. Tayler also took and shared with us so amazing pictures! I loved seeing these updates and hearing how the animals were doing while we were away!”

About: I've had at least four dogs as long as I can remember. As a child, they were my first companions and my second caretakers. Even as I grew into an adult, they were always there to comfort me and to brighten the darkest of days. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I am eager to give back what they so willingly give; love, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and joy. In the last two years, I have gone from four dogs to one, due to Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure, and I must admit that their absence has affected me deeply. I miss them so so so much!! I'm one of those people that celebrated their dog's birthdays and bought them copious presents for Christmas. While my friends were pulling out their family pics, I was always pulling out my dog pics. I share this same sentiment towards birds, rabbits, and cats; all of which I had growing up. Being surrounded by animals as a child was a great experience. It even prompted me to volunteer at the ASPCA for almost a year. As I hope you can tell, I will not only provide what your pet needs to survive, but I will also provide him/her with special attention and love. I look forward to meeting with both you and your pet! Until then, take care! I will be able to fulfill any house/pet sitting duties without any issues, as I am able to balance my obligations responsibly and with respect to myself and those that hire me. While pet/house sitting, I will abide the rules given to me. This could include when they play, where they sleep, any medications needed, when to eat, etc.

About: Apart from my good aura & energy, cats are drawn to my respectful boundaries & patience to let them come to me when they are ready. I have been cat sitting for so long that I am familiar with several types of litter boxes, toys, foods & signs. "My cat has never warmed up so fast to anyone" remains a common phrase throughout my entire life. I wake up and let my parents dog out, clean the litter box for their cats & then feed the fish in case my mother forgot. I also feed the dog in the afternoon (mom does morning) & the cats as well. Any help that is needed along with vet visits, fall on me since I am home more than anyone. I make sure that I am aware of any hiding spots in other peoples homes for cats so that I can check on them constantly even if it just means checking that they are still in the same spot. Cats, depending on playfulness, need attention & proper care. I make sure I set alarms or reminders if they need medication or special care from the owners. Watching tv, reading a book or cleaning are my favorite past times while I cat sit. If I need to be home all day with them, then I will entertain myself easily.

“Glenn and Terril did a wonderful job taking care of my little buddy Ike Jr. Especially given late notice on Thanksgiving week. Updates and pics daily. Just a great experience overall!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments for many years, helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I am comfortable handling energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals that need extra patience and attention. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I plan my day around the pets I care for so they receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I am also able to accommodate early morning, evening, and last-minute requests when needed. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals are always supervised and treated like part of the family. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines to keep pets comfortable. During walks and visits, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, monitoring surroundings, and giving pets the patience and care they deserve.
